Windows 10: OCR

I checked my posts and don't see OCR so I think this is fresh.
I have tried to use OneNote as OCR for the longest time with no success. I have used YouTube videos all of which are different and do not work for me. I have read that One Note's OCR no longer works.
I have Windows 1803 with Office Home and Student 2010.
So before I ask for help with a process, does it still function ?

OCR


Free OCR on that suggested list is online so just save in your Browser favourites same as anything else.

If it's an install file just save that somewhere, HDD, DVD, USB key etc.

MS Office 2010 Home and Student.
That comes with OCR in Microsoft OneNote 2010, look in your all programs list under Office. That has OCR. It will start with an offer of a free upgrade but cancel that for the moment.

Start up a new Notebook > Insert picture > Select picture > Right click > Copy text from picture(this is the OCR bit).

Then obviously paste text into what ever you want, Word 2010 etc.

The hidden corners of your applications you never knew you had...

If you have a flatbed scanner or similar they are usually supplied with a cut down version of some OCR application. My old HP Scanner came with a cut down version of Iris OCR.
